Changing Colors

Summary

Col­ors have a pow­er­ful mean­ing for the gen­er­al expe­ri­ence you’re craft­ing for peo­ple who bump into your web­site. They’re not just eye-can­dy pix­els that grab atten­tion; they’re an inte­grat­ed part of your brand­ing, and it can impact your way of expres­sion and communication.

All of our themes have spe­cif­ic col­or options aligned to each ele­ment and fea­ture. We’ve devel­oped them in a way that allows you to change the major­i­ty of the website’s items with­out any effort: head­ings, body text, link, menu items, but­tons or back­grounds. You can fast­ly cus­tomize the palette of col­ors to per­fect­ly align it with your exquis­ite brand. Just use the col­or pick­ers and the live pre­view from our friend­ly and easy-to-use interface.

Before you start

Col­or mean­ings: choose col­ors that res­onate with the state­ment you want to draw. For exam­ple, blue inspires safe­ty, integri­ty, and peace, while yel­low is trans­lat­ed into ener­gy and joyfulness.

Keep the col­or scheme sim­ple: as a com­mon sense rule, try to focus your atten­tion on a pri­ma­ry col­or (known as the base col­or as well) and add to it neu­tral col­ors such as white, black or gray. On the con­trary, you can eas­i­ly con­fuse the users and deliv­er mixed-feelings.

Main­tain the con­trast: for a bunch of sit­u­a­tions, the dark col­ors make a good deal with the light ones. Stay away from using a light one for the back­ground and anoth­er one pret­ty sim­i­lar for the body text. To be more spe­cif­ic: a yel­low text on a white back­ground would be hard to read for everyone.
